The slightly new age and holistic health aspect of the series is what drew me in at first.  The main character, A.J., really has her hands full with grieving for her murdered aunt, a new business, and an estranged mother, as well as being recently and not so happily divorced.  Things work themselves out in the end with a surprising and interesting twist.  I loved it!  Be sure to check out the vegetarian recipes included with this book.  They look delicious!
